Strive for greatness not perfection. ❤️
What Fridays at the ranch look like! 🤩 Horsemanship class favorite is running around the arena pretending to be horses with their barn buddies. We love seeing these horse crazy kids build relationships with other equestrian friends.

🤩💪🏼Bareback BOOTCAMP Week 💪🏼🤩
Riding without stirrups or bareback is definitely hard work - but like every other riding skill, it gets easier with practice. No-stirrup work is one of the fastest ways to develop the kind of seat that will keep you balanced and in control at the canter!
Level Objectives:
🔴 Drop and pick stirrups up at walk.
🟡 Ride on the lunge-line without stirrups or reins.
🟢 Ride bareback confidently at walk and trot.
🔵 Walk/trot/canter no stirrups or bareback.
🟠 Ride ring figures without stirrups/bareback.

💪🏼Cross-Training Your Horse💪🏼
“The goal of a cross-training program is twofold: you want to improve your horse's fitness—both muscle and bone strength, as well as stamina—and provide your horse with some great mental stimulation. Bones are dynamic tissues; they remodel and change throughout your horse's life.” - Debra M. Eldredge, DVM
Make sure to incorporate cross training in your riding schedule, If you’re looking to improve the following:
⭐️Refined Coordination
⭐️Enhanced Balance & Suppleness
⭐️Improved Work Attitude
⭐️Increased Strength & Stamina Fitness
⭐️Decreased Injury Rate

Meet Sofia: She was raised among horses, riding before she was walking, and neighing before she was talking (but you didn’t hear that from us!).
All jokes aside, Sofia has always had an affinity for our four-legged friends and her unique ability to communicate with them has made her shine in the training of young horses.
With her patience, confidence, and gentle encouragement she has brought along her own horse Enzo from unhandled to a competitive eventing mount. Sofia’s experience with untrained horses has helped her develop the perfect skill set for working with young riders. She is passionate about inspiring confidence, willing partnerships, and fun learning environments in her lessons.
